Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
I have the thinkfinger module installed, referenced in /etc/pam.
However on locking the screen (by clicking on the power icon and choosing lock screen) I cannot do the unlock by fingerprint swipe. This implies that lock screen isn't using pam.
/etc/pam.

GDM is the only Gnome app I'm aware of that properly uses fingerprint scanning. I use thinkfinger for GDM login, console login, sudo, etc but gnome-screensaver, gksudo, and other gnome apps don't work with it.
